Paul Fischer - of Oxon.

Year:

1984 - number 571

Body:

Very attractive, straight-grained timber; uncertain of the origin as it doesn't look like Indian rosewood but has a grain and pore texture untypical of Brazilian ... very handsome though, with double-lined purflings throughout. The back has X-bracing.

Front:

European spruce of lovely ambered colour with a rosette in black and reds framed with rope edgings. Rosewood bridge with matching tie-block decoration.

Tuners:

Original tuning machines of unknown make, with Munich design side-plates and perloid buttons

Scale:

65cm with 19 frets on ebony fingerboard

Neck Width:

51.4mm at the nut with 42 mm string spacing.

Weight:

1750 grams

Condition:

Showing the most minor of marks only, this guitar has clearly been handled with great care and respect and is consequently in lovely condition - no cracks, no repairs, no significant marks and appears to be the original finish throughout. Really looks lovely.

Comments:

This is one of Paul Fischer's fan-strutted guitars with X-format back bracing, made with fine quality timbers and looking very handsome.
It has very balanced, refined sound; as you would expect ... and with good sustain and warmth with body resonance just above G.
It is so pleasing to find older instruments of highly-respected makers that have been kept in such good condition; the age adding something to the quality of the sound too. Very reasonably-priced.
